Quote

"Plus est en vous. It means there is more in you."

Queen Arianna is a supporting character in Disney's 2010 animated film, . She is Rapunzel's birth mother, and wife of King Frederic.

Background

"Rapunzel, before I met your father, I was so much like you. I had no idea what I was supposed to do in this world. So I went out and found my own way."

―Arianna to Rapunzel

Arianna is the Queen of the kingdom Corona. In Tangled: Before Ever After, Arianna tells Rapunzel that, at a young age, she was very much like her daughter in that she felt lost in the world and longed to find her calling. During this time, she lived her life as an adventurer, exploring remote continents, besting violent storms and helping local villagers restore their worn homes. At some point, she would meet Frederic, marry him, and assume the role of queen. According to Flynn Rider's narration in the original Tangled, Arianna is a beloved monarch who rules the kingdom with grace and wisdom.

Personality

In Tangled, Arianna is shown to love her daughter and her husband dearly: when Rapunzel is born, she smiles adoringly, cuddling and picking her up. She then silently comforts her husband on the day of the lantern festival, gently touching his face when he cries. These scenes show that she is caring, supportive, and kindly. She is also shown to be very accepting, immediately welcoming Eugene into the royal family upon realizing he was partially responsible for her daughter's return.

Arianna's personality is slightly expanded in Tangled: Before Ever After, where her loving and supportive nature is emphasized by her way of raising Rapunzel - especially compared to her husband. Unlike the paranoid Frederic who fears for Rapunzel's safety nearly every waking moment, Arianna simply relishes in having a complete family once more. She also sympathizes with Rapunzel's longing to learn more about the world, and herself, and encourages her to do just that. Gentle and soft-spoken, Arianna quickly established herself as someone Rapunzel can confide in during times of uncertainty.

In regards to Rapunzel and Frederic's somewhat strained relationship, Arianna advices Frederic to lower his defenses and trust that their daughter will prevail as a wise ruler when her time comes. She openly believes the idea that teenagers are a rather complex age-group that requires patience and understanding from the parent, to properly develop; this would explain why her methods of raising Rapunzel are considerably less controversial, compared to her husband, despite the fact that they both love their daughter, immensely.

It is shown later on that she and Rapunzel have developed a deep mother-daughter bond. In " Fitzherbert P.I., Arianna gave motherly wisdom about how Rapunzel should best portray herself in her royal portrait, explaining that people aren't defined by what they can do, but by who they are and the people they love; in response, Rapunzel painted the portrait, herself, which depicted the princess with her mother.

Physical appearance

Arianna bears a striking resemblance to her daughter; near identical, bright green eyes, with similar facial features. She, along with Frederic, also share Rapunzel's brown hair (after it was cut). Arianna's hair almost reaches her waist. It is parted in the same way as Rapunzel's is, and the upper layer is tied back neatly in a sort of updo.

Appearances

Arianna is more involved in the movie, even though she does not have a speaking role like her spouse, Frederic. She contracted an unknown illness while heavily pregnant with Rapunzel, and she was going to die, along with her child, from the illness. The guards, however, found the magical golden flower that, through a traditional medicinal method such as extracting a plant's essence by boiling it in water, fully healed her, which also successfully helped with the birth of Rapunzel. Not long afterward, Mother Gothel snuck into the castle to kidnap Rapunzel, who held the powers she believed were rightfully hers.

As a loving mother, Arianna along with the King, was devastated to have her baby taken away. Eighteen years later, she and the King continued to hold the lantern festival to call their daughter home and were just as emotionally shaken as the day she disappeared. Arianna did not return to the scene until a guard came to report Rapunzel's return. Although she was not able to immediately recognize and embrace Rapunzel as her long lost daughter upon first sight, Arianna's maternal instinct and striking resemblance to Rapunzel brought the family together immediately. As she, her husband and Rapunzel sank to the ground in a powerful embrace, Arianna silently extended her hand to Eugene in speechless gratitude. As he took it, she pulled him in to join them. She was last seen smiling and hugging Rapunzel and Frederic towards the end of the movie.

Arianna has a brief appearance in Tangled Ever After. In Maximus' dream sequence after he loses the rings, Arianna exclaims from the audience that the rings were her grandmother's. She also appears at the end, alongside Frederic, giving Maximus and Pascal a surprised look that they were both dirty and messy, and also smiling happily as her daughter is married.

Arianna makes multiple appearances in the TV series, though she usually plays fairly minor roles. When focused upon, however, it is shown that Arianna is just as elated as her husband to have Rapunzel in her life again, but not in a manner that has made her overprotective. Instead, she supports her daughter in all endeavors, and looks to make up for the eighteen years worth of lost time by spending time with Rapunzel whenever she can. She trusts that her daughter can make her own choices and believes in her ability to accomplish her goals.

In " The Way of the Willow", it is revealed that Arianna has a younger sister named Wilhelmina (nicknamed "Willow"), who visits Corona in honor of her sister's birthday-despite having missed the previous six. Unfortunately, Willow's visit had cut into Arianna and Rapunzel's planned date to watch a meteor shower, which Arianna looked forward to as a chance to have some long-awaited quality time with her daughter. Tidbits on Arianna's past were also hinted at throughout the episode, such as the fact that - during her childhood - she had a somewhat crippling eagerness to impress those around her, which would result in her taking any dare that Willow threw her way; Arianna was notably embarrassed by this when Willow brought it up.

In the season one finale, Arianna tried to reason with her husband about him locking Rapunzel up in her bedroom tower was to extreme. When she couldn't change his mind she visited her daughter and reminded her that her father was doing this because he cared.

Later she is kidnapped by Varian, to use as bait to get Rapunzel to cooperate in an attempt to free his father from the amber. Though visibly scared, she still attempted to get through to Varian and help him, urging him to not do this. Later when Varian caused the rocks near her to start growing amber, she remained calm and freed herself before the amber could encase her. A short time later she witnessed her daughter use the connection she had with the rocks to stop Varian once and for all.

Live-action appearances

Frederic and Arianna make a brief appearance at the end of the episode " The Tower", where they are seen reuniting with Rapunzel after years of separation.

Arianna was originally going to be voiced by Ashley Judd in Tangled: Before Ever After, but this was changed later on.

Queen Arianna's given name was from executive producer, Chris Sonnenburg's, daughter, Arianna.

Disney

Fan theories are a dime a dozen on the Internet. Most we don't care about ( oh, Jessie from Toy Story may have been Andy's mom's toy? OK?), but this one, which connects Frozen, Tangled and The Little Mermaid, will blow your mind.

Credit where credit is due: Buzzfeed resurfaced this theory from a fan on Tumblr. But it's too interesting (and crazy) not to share. Fair warning: It's very depressing. Now, if you're ready to feel all the feels, let's dive deep...

We start with Frozen. Remember early on in the film, during "For the First Time in Forever," when the castle doors open for Elsa's coronation and Anna finally gets to step outside and meet other people? Watch carefully...

If you blink, you'll miss them. But they're there. Down in the left hand corner.

Look familiar? It's Rapunzel (post haircut) and Eugene from Tangled!

Sure, their little cameo might just be another Easter egg ( we all know how much Disney loves including those), but it may also be part of a bigger story that connects Frozen and Tangled.

"What if the king and queen of Arendelle were on their way to Rapunzel and Eugene's wedding when their boat sank, and that's why Rapunzel and Eugene felt the need to come to Elsa's coronation ceremony?"

Frozen doesn't tell us much about where the king and queen of Arendelle were heading, just Elsa asking, "Do you have to go?" and Anna sending them off with, "See you in two weeks!"

But we know they traveled by ship and we know what happened to that ship:

The time lines match up too.

After the shipwreck and funeral, Frozen jumps forward three years...

Is it just a coincidence then that it was also three years after Tangled was released that Frozen was released? Tangled premiered in 2010 and Frozen hit theaters in 2013.

"So if it's true that Elsa and Anna's parents were going to Rapunzel's [wedding] three years ago (actually when the movie Tangled released) when their ship sank, which was the reason Rapunzel and Flynn felt the need to come to Elsa's coronation...GUYS. What if that sunken ship in The Little Mermaid is the king and queen of Arendelle's??"

This connections takes a little research:

No movie explicity pinpoints the real world location where it takes place. We know that Tangled takes place in the Kingdom of Corona. According to Disney Wikia:

By looking at five things: architecture, nature, landscape, politics, and the styles of dress in Tangled, the best fit for a real-world Kingdom of Corona would be along the Baltic Sea coast of Germany and Poland at some point from 16th to the 18th century.

Frozen is a little more straightforward:
The name "Arendelle" is based on the Norwegian town of Arendal, located southwest of the Norwegian capital, Oslo. In Norwegian, "Aren" means "eagle", and "delle" is most likely derived from "dal" which means "valley."
And The Little Mermaid story was written by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen. There's even a Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen.

So Corona = Germany. Arendelle = Norway. And The Little Mermaid takes place off the coast of Denmark.

Does it all line up?

Is this the same ship?

Hey, we're just glad no king and queen of Arendelle skeletons popped up while Ariel was frolicking in that ship to answer the question definitively.

That would have been forever traumatizing.

This page lists fan theories about the animated film Finding Nemo.

It is about loss

Nemo, when translated from Latin, means "no one." So in this essence, Nemo doesn't actually exist; Marlin just invented him so that he could compensate over the loss of his entire family. Marlin considered this loss his own fault rather than as a freak accident. The sharks helped him to realize that things that seemed like threats at first may not be, so worrying about every single thing in life is futile. The turtles taught Marlin that he isn't expected to have control over everything in his life, so he shouldn't worry about it, and Dory indirectly taught him that he should let go of all of the pain of the past, because it wasn't his fault. Nemo going to school at the end represents Marlin finally coming to terms with his loss.

This Theory About The Drought In "The Lion King" Will Blow Your Mind

BEAR WITH ME! So, we all know what happens in The Lion King.

Scar kills his brother Mufasa, who's the king of Pride Rock.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH" -Mufasa

This event forces Simba to exile himself from Pride Rock, leaving Scar as the only heir to his brother's throne.

Hence, King Scar rules over Pride Rock.

So why does this matter? While Simba was away singing "Hakuna Matata," we return to see how Pride Rock is doing under the Scar administration. Out of nowhere, there is a drought.

What's Scar expected to do? Put restrictions on drinking water? HE'S A DAMN LION!

So, you've probably seen the movie Wreck-It Ralph, which follows Ralph, a video game bad guy, on his quest to win a medal and be the good guy for once.

This backstory is tragic enough on its own, but it might not even be the full story. A theory posted by Redditor ItsGotToMakeSense points out a very interesting detail about the Cy-Bugs:

Cy-Bugs become what they eat, and we see this happen at three different points throughout the movie. The first time is when one eats Ralph's laser gun in Hero's Duty.

10 Disney Movie Fan Theories - Pixar Movie Theories

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This one treads some sci-fi turf, but bear with us. (Get it? Bear? Brave? Anyway.) The witch from Brave magically disappears when she goes through doorways-something the scarers from Monsters Inc can do, too. Is it possible Boo learned a trick or two from her bestie Sulley? Of course, Brave takes place hundreds of years before Monsters Inc-but if Boo can teleport through doors, it would make sense that she can also move through time a bit. Before you dismiss this theory, check out the carvings in the witch's workshop-there's a carving of Sulley in there, even though he won't exist for a few more centuries. (There's a separate theory that Boo is really Bonnie from Toy Story, but don't be fooled. Her name is the same as the actress who voices her: Mary.)

2. Emily from Toy Story 2 is actually Andy's mom.

You may remember Jessie's owner, Emily, from Toy Story 2-and probably bawled when she dumped Jessie in the donation bin-but is it possible she grew up to be Andy's mom? When Andy is playing with Woody in the original Toy Story, he's actually wearing a Jessie hat, not a Woody hat. Did he inherit that hat from his mom? And does he own those vintage toys because Emily's reliving her childhood via the Roundup gang? Also, Emily's childhood room décor was 1960s flower-power, and Toy Story came out in 1995-which would make Emily in her 30s. Perfect age to have a six-year-old kid, just sayin'.
3. Tarzan's Jane is descended from Princess Belle.
Not only do they look alike and love the color yellow, but consider this: In a scene in Tarzan, Terk is drumming on a tea set. The pot looks suspiciously like Mrs. Potts from Beauty and the Beast, and one of the teacups even appears to have a small chip. Some have speculated that could mean that it was an heirloom passed down from great-great-great-grandma Belle. That might also explain why Jane knows how to connect with ~wild~ guys.
4. Elsa and Anna are Rapunzel's cousins.
This one's hard to argue with. Rapunzel and Eugene are very clearly seen arriving at Elsa's coronation, and considering they don't live in Arendelle- Tangled is set in Germany-they must be on the VIP invite list. There are also a few family similarities. Both Rapunzel and Elsa are blonde, and both have powers that look pretty but are kind of weird. (Glowing magic hair? Snowmaker hands?) That would explain why the King was such a jerk about Elsa's powers-if his niece was kidnapped for her magic hair, it would make sense that he'd want to conceal his own daughter's powers. In other words, maybe he's not the worst after all.
5. The King and Queen of Arendelle died on the way to Rapunzel's wedding.
Speaking of VIP invite lists, what fancy affair were the King and Queen attending when their ship capsized? During a Reddit AMA, Frozen director Jennifer Lee said the king and queen were headed to a wedding. Was it Rapunzel's wedding to Eugene? The timing is right, since Rapunzel still looks pretty much the same at the coronation. And the trip was supposed to be two weeks, which would be a reasonable amount of time to travel about 1,600 miles round trip by sea and land. Oh, and speaking of the shipwreck...
6. Ariel may have found the sunken ship of the King and Queen of Arendelle.
If they capsized halfway there, that would be right around Atlantica. And their ship does look suspiciously like the one Ariel pillaged-er, explored-in The Little Mermaid. Check out the whole I-N-S-A-N-E theory that connects Frozen, Tarzan, and The Little Mermaid here.
7. The King and Queen survived the wreck - and became Tarzan's parents.
During the same Reddit AMA, Lee said, "According to Chris [Buck, co-director], they didn't die on the boat. They got washed up on shore in a jungle island. The queen gave birth to a baby boy. They build a treehouse. They get eaten by a leopard." She was joking, of course...we think. Check out the full explanation here, and see what you think.
8. Aladdin takes place in the far-off future.
The genie complains that "10,000 years will give you such a crick in the neck!" But then he makes a bunch of modern-day pop culture references, including impressions of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jack Nicholson. So unless the magic lamp has been sitting in front of a TV in the Cave of Wonders, we have to assume Aladdin takes place 10,000 years from now. Of course, there's one other possibility...
9. Aladdin never happened at all.
There's always the possibility that the entire story was completely fabricated by that salesman in the opening scene, so you'd buy the lamp. (Gasp!)
10. Carl dies at the beginning of Up.
The first few minutes of U p are a harsh dose of reality-we need a box of tissues just thinking about it-so it's weird that the rest of the movie is filled with magical elements like flying houses and talking dogs. One possible explanation: Carl actually passed away the night before he was going to be taken to Shady Oaks, and the movie follows his journey into the afterlife. As if it wasn't sad enough already!
11. In The Incredibles, Violet and Dash were once super-newborns.
The family doesn't realize Jack-Jack has powers until (spoiler alert) he turns into a tiny human fireball at the end. But if the family assumed he was normal, that means the other kids must have had their powers evident at birth. And how crazy would it be to see a newborn baby with super-speed or the power of invisibility?
12. Ariel's mom was in Peter Pan and was murdered by Captain Hook.
Disney is no stranger to easter eggs, and this one seems to be more than 30 years in the making. The mermaids in Peter Pan may not be super memorable, but there is one mermaid that sticks out more than the rest, a young red head who bares a striking resemblance to another famous Disney mermaid. While we never meet Ariel's mother in The Little Mermaid, in Ariel's Beginning we learn that her name is Athena, and the mermaid in Peter Pan is never named, meaning her name could easily be Athena. It is also revealed that Athena was killed by pirates, and the mermaid in Peter Pan have a less than cordial relationship with Captain Hook and his pirates, could be be that Hook killed Ariel's mom?
13. The Little Mermaid's Ariel and Hercules are cousins.
Anyone who's studied Greek mythology will quickly realize how these two Disney characters are totally related. In The Little Mermaid, Ariel's father is King Triton, who in Greek mythology is the son of Poseidon God of the Sea, making Poseidon Ariel's grandfather. Greek mythology also dictates that Poseidon is Zeus' brother, who in Greek mythology and Hercules, is Hercules father. This means that King Triton and Hercules are first cousins, making Ariel and Hercules first cousins once removed.
14. Nemo didn't survive the attack that killed his mother and siblings.
Finding Nemo opens to arguably one of the saddest Disney scenes of all time. Marlon's wife Coral and all of their eggs are attacked by a ferocious fish, leaving Nemo and Marlon the only survivors. If you thought that scene was sad, this theory will absolutely break your heart. Some fans believe Nemo never survived the attack, and the movie is just an allegory of Marlon dealing with the stages of grief. The evidence? Lets start with the fact that in Latin "Nemo" means "nothing," hinting to Nemo being nothing more than a figment of Marlon's imagination. Secondly, the five stages of grief are easily mapped out in the movie.

Denial: not wanting Nemo to go to school.

Anger: yelling at Nemo when he swims out too far.

Bargaining: his entire journey across the ocean.

Despair: seeing Nemo flushed down the drain.

Acceptance: he learns to finally let go of the past.

Crying yet?
15. Sven's mom was killed by ice harvesters, and Kristoff is wearing her pelt.
At the beginning of Frozen viewers are introduced to a young Kristoff and baby Sven, and when you eventually meet the duo later in the film, it is clear they have been friends for as long as they can remember. At first, their friendship seems innocent, Kristoff needed a way to get around the cold tundra, and a furry reindeer is the perfect companion but it turns out their friendship has a much darker connection. Baby Sven is never seen with a mother reindeer, leaving many to believe she's been slain by the other ice harvesters, and her pelt was given to baby Kristoff to keep warm. Meaning Kristoff has been wearing the fur from his best friend's mother his whole life!
16. Tarzan is Frozen's Anna and Elsa's little brother.
Tarzan was raised by gorilla's, but he's definitely a human, and the internet has finally figured out who his parents are. In Frozen, Anna and Elsa's parents leave for a long boat journey and don't return when they're boat capsizes during a storm. Tarzan's family washed ashore the jungle after their boat capsized during a storm - sound familiar? There is no mention of Anna and Elsa's parents being found, which makes it totally possible that they washed ashore in the jungle, and went on to have another baby in a tree house. That makes Tarzan, Anna and Elsa's little brother! Now all they need to do it meet!
17. This scene in The Emperor's New Groove is actually a scene of a brutal human murder.
Disney movies aren't afraid to get dark, but for the most part The Emperor's New Groove is just a fun movie - right? It turns our The Emperor's New Groove has a really dark side, one you saw and totally missed! Remember that fly that Kuzco saw get eaten while he was walking through the scary jungle? That fly wasn't just a fly, it was a human who had been turned into a fly! Only animals who has once been human are able to speak in the movie, so the fly would have had to have once been a human for Kuzco to have heard his screams. So basically as a child you watched a brutal murder.
18. Inside Out's Bing Bong is actually a monster from Monsters Inc. P.S. If you're wondering why we didn't mention the "Pixar Theory"...
Inside Out may have given the illusion of being nothing but laughs, but anyone who's seen it knows it's a total heart breaker. The saddest part of the movie is easily when Bing Bong sacrificed himself so that Joy can save Riley, and even though it was completely necessary, a little piece of you died inside. But if this theory is believed, that gut wrenching moment isn't as sad as it seemed. Many fans theorize that Bing Bong is actually a monster from the Monsters Inc. world, who used to visit Riley when she was younger, much like Sully visited boo. If this is true, that means just the memory of Bing Bong died and not Bing Bong himself.

Most Disney fanatics are familiar with the intricate theory that attempts to connect every movie in the Pixar universe. But there's one problem -- it claims that Cars is set in the future, when animals no longer exist due to pollution. But Cars takes place shortly after the construction of Interstate 40, which bypassed Route 66 a few decades ago. As shown in flashbacks, most of the Cars characters were in Radiator Springs during its heyday. Most cars don't last 20 years, so it's unlikely they'd survive from the mid-20th century all the way into a dystopian future.
